Remembering An American Hero
Dear CPL David Leland Smith, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

To Put A Face With A Name
David, to honor your memory and the sacrifice you made for our country I want to make sure your photo will be displayed on your birthday each and every year when the Education Center is completed, so it is with great pride and humility that I post this remembrance with a picture of you that I found in your Clairton High School Yearbook. You are not forgotten and remain in the hearts of many all these years later. You have been designated to be one of God's special angels, along with the love of my life, who also sacrificed his life during this war. God Bless You David for being who you were and for all you did--we live in freedom to this day thanks to heroes like you.

Smitty, I think of you often and the sacrifice you made. I didn't believe you had an operation to have your leg fixed so you could join the USMC. It was an honor to know you. I was with the 1st Cav in 68. I consider you both a friend and a brother.
